So gender roles are bullshit, right? If a dude wants to paint his nails pink that’s totally awesome, and if a girl wants to have short hair and drive a pickup truck that’s fucking rad, right?

Egalitarianism is far more complex than it’s oftentimes portrayed to be on Tumblr. Instead of making a defensive post about what egalitarianism is not, here is a list of what egalitarianism is:
Simply put, egalitarians believe that the world should afford equal opportunity to everyone.
Most of us know that the chances of this dream coming true are slim to none, but...

misandry exists much in the same way big foot does: much has been written it but when you say you’ve seen it you come of as crazy
Except that there’s a lot of institutional bias against men. Of course, much depends on your definition of misandry, but using the word in a way that erases the suffering of...

misogynoir: the hatred of Black women

Oh, anon.
If you don’t let people grow and you refuse to take their apologies sincerely, it’s going to be a very long, sad, depressing life.
The point of change over time (of personal change, of political change) isn’t to keep obsessive records of who said what so you can leverage it against them (over and over and over) when they later realize they were a dumbass. The internet is...

It’s not rude when your fave declines to take a picture with/for you. When you ask, you are actually interrupting their day and their privacy. This may be delightful to them or annoying or frightening. And no matter how you approach it and why, it’s still up to them to decide which it is and deal with it as they wish regardless.

I’m sorry, but no. Just no.
The way MRA’s “ask” that feminists treat men’s issues, they go about it like this:
Feminist: “Rape is a problem that 1 out of 3 women face. We need to do something about this.”
MRA: “BUT MEN CAN GET RAPED TOO WTF”

So in the past week
I turned 17
I had a mental breakdown
I had a birthday party
MY BOYFRIEND AND I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO (DIFFERENT) UNITED WORLD COLLEGES ON SCHOLARSHIPS. OH MY GOODNESS <3
the existence of this shirt makes me angry so I defaced it
I’m literally turning 17 tomorrow and I don’t know which URL to choose help
also the whole 17 thing isn’t very exciting. The only thing I can do is donate blood, which is on my to-do list now.
i apologise for the lack of proper punctuation and capitalisation but i totally slept on a yoga mat last night on the floor of my school’s auditorium because we rehearsed for like seven hours after school and three more after we woke up and now i have sondheim’s creepy violin underscore stuck in my head

male privilege is being able to check girls out and comment on things you appreciate about their clothes/bodies/ etc., but being called creepy if you are a girl and do the same thing to men

bunnies themselves are not venomous, but there is a risk of tetanus or other infection (rabies is rare in lagomorphs) as rabbit bites are deep puncture wounds that are difficult to clean thoroughly.

Another serious question for science-y people
When I was 6, I lived with my grandparents in a small town and there was a clinic in the neighbourhood. Once my grandparents and I went out on a walk and apparently this 4-year-old girl was brought into the clinic after being bitten by her pet rabbit a few days earlier and she died. To this day I don’t know if you can really die from being bitten by a bunny can someone please answer this...
